The Consulate General of Portugal in Macau is in talks with the authorities of the Chinese special administrative region due to recent restrictions on residence permits for Portuguese nationals, Alexandre Leitão, the consul general in the territory has told Lusa. Macau is not accepting new applications for Portuguese residency at the Immigration Services based on the “exercise of specialised technical functions”, allowing only justifications of family grouping or previous connection to the territory – a situation that is already affecting Portuguese entities in the territory in terms of hiring, writes Lusa.
